Gutter Cleaning FAQs

How Does Gutter Cleaning Work?

Our serviceman cleans out the gutters and valleys removing leaf matter. We will also flush out downpipes if required to ensure water flows properly. Light tree trimming will also be done where branches are sitting in the gutters because it may prevent stormwater from flowing away.

What happens to the leaves and dirt you remove?

Debris removed from the gutters, valleys, roof area or downpipes during a roof clean is removed from the site in bags and bins, by our specialised serviceman.

Are the gutters the only area you clean?

Our serviceman will clean gutters, roof valleys and remove any debris that is sitting on the roof. Gutters are flushed out if there is fine sediment and filters on rain water tanks cleaned to allow better water flow. He can also provide a quote to clean the roof if required, using high pressure water jets.

Can a gutter clean be done if we have gutter guard fitted?

Our serviceman can attend to a gutter cleaning if the clip in type gutterguard is installed however an additional charge may be applied due to the extra time the work will take reinstalling the product. If a permanent type of gutterguard is installed and attached to the roof gutterline and valley areas we often will vacuum up the debris that sits on top and flush out gutters with water (as much as is possible) but we do not usually remove the permanent mesh to clean under.

How Often Should You Do Gutter Cleaning?

That is totally dependent on the amount of trees around your property and the type of leaves. If you live in a bushland setting we would generally suggest a roof clean on a 6 monthly basis however many clients will have gutter vacuuming done on a 12 monthly basis.

The service from both the original call during the Christmas break and the office response on their first day back was excellent. The service man telephoned and made an appointment and showed up on time and dealt with our bee problem efficiently and effectively and told us we may see a few bees that day but none the following day and he was spot on. Overall we received excellent service from Peter the possom and bird and bees man and their info on the website was also very helpful.read more

I have used these guys for a roof cavity vacuum and also for a gutter vacuum and have been happy with the outcome for both. They are a lovely team of guys who get in and get the job done, with no fuss, and minimal disturbance. They are also reasonably priced. I will continue to use them.read more

I received a call back promptly from Kenny even though it was a couple of days before Christmas. The guys were able to come straight after Christmas and were prompt and professional in fixing my bird nesting problem. Their assistance was very much appreciated.read more

After weeks of interrupted sleep we can all rest easy now the possums have been "locked out" of our roof. Multiple visits were required for the desired outcome but that was no problem as the roof space could be accessed from the outside of the house. Regular updates with what and when questions answered straight away. Now finally, possum free although the possum keeps coming back to see if he can get back in. All in all a great job done.
Many thanks,

I maintain the gardens at the Cultural Centre and occasionally have male turkeys mound building. This can cause safety risks with debris across pathways. Peter the Possum and Bird Man offer an excellent service. The staff are very helpful and professional and are on site within a day. They have great knowledge of turkey behaviour and always put the animal's welfare first.. They are back to pick up a trapped bird within half an hour to relocate them to their new home. So far 100% success on trapping my mound building males. Thanks for an excellent service.read more

Great service from start to finish.
I chose this company to vacuum, insulate, & install 2 whirlybirds, because of their honest and friendly approach. I wasn't disappointed.
I highly recommend Shane, Matt & Aiden. Thanks so much guys!read more

Phoned Peter the possum man on a Monday, spoke to a lady who said they are flat out couldn't get there to Wednesday at the earliest and he would ring, never rang! We were sure we had a possum but the lady on the other end insisted it was rats as the indications pointed that way, still wanted them to come out, after realizing they weren't calling took her advise and put ratsak up there on the Friday and just had to kill a possum who was suffering from eating all the ratsak! Very annoyed as we love wildlife and this was the worst possible outcome!read more

I recently called Peter the Possum Man after a possum made its way down the chimney in a home I was selling. The property contained staged furniture and had been vacant for several days before we realised that the possum had been trapped in the house (poor little guy!). Though I called near close of business, Pete came out on short notice and sorted things out in a pleasant and professional manner. What a life saver! Thanks Pete and the team for your prompt response and great service.read more
